Career
Doncaster Rovers
Husband was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire. He attended Wigton Moor Primary School and Boston Spa School. After coming through the Leeds United academy, he moved to Doncaster Rovers and signed a two-year scholarship in the summer of 2010. He signed his first professional contract in November 2011, on a 2 1⁄2-year deal after reported interest from Premier League clubs.[3] He made his first team debut on 17 April 2012 in a 0–0 draw with Middlesbrough, coming on as a second-half substitute for Shelton Martis.[4] He made his first start four days later, as Doncaster beat Coventry City 2–0.[5] Husband was named man of the match in Rovers' League Cup round two win over Hull City.
Husband's first goals for Rovers came when he was temporarily moved to play in left midfield. The first was at Crawley Town on 18 February,[6] followed by a second, eight days later, at Shrewsbury Town.[7] At the end of the season, Rovers were promoted to the Championship.
Husband scored his first goal of the 2013-14 season on 16 August, when his overhit cross went over the head of Blackburn Rovers's goalkeeper to complete a 2-0 victory.[8] Doncaster were relegated back to League One at the end of the season.
